HYDROCARBON-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 646,386, dated March27, 1900.

Application filed December 29, 1898. Serial No. 700,640. (N0 model-l Toall whom, it' may concern:

Be it known that I, MILON O. GODDING, a citizen of the United States,residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles, State ofCalifornia, have invented a new and useful Hydrocarbon-Burner, of whichthe following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in hydrocarbon-burners in whichcrude petroleum is burned for fuelin the presence of steam or air; andthe objects of my improvements are to provide a burner cheaplymanufactured, of simple construction, that is easily adjusted when inuse, and which can be used equally well whether a small or a large fireis required. I attain these objects by the mechanism described hereinand illustrated in the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, inwhich- Figure 1 isa side elevation of my burner, parts being brokenaway; and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section of the head of theburner with a portion of the connecting-pipes.

In the drawings, l is the head of the burner and has a semicircularface, the upper part of which projects beyond the lower. In the u pperpart of the face is the horizontal oil-discharge port 2, and in thelower part of the face is the horizontal steam-discharge port 3. Thenormal size of these ports is sufficient to supply oil and steam in suchquantities as may be required to generate steam for the greatest demandthat can be made on the boiler wit-h which the burner is used. Theoil-port 2 is regulated by the circular screw-threaded valve 4, having ahexagonal head 5, through which extend holes 6, and containing acircular expansion-chamber 7. (Shown in Fig. 2.) The oil-port 2 isconnected to the oil-supply pipe 13 by a passage 18. The steam-port 3 isregulated byY the circular screw-threaded valve 8, having a hexagonalhead 9, through which extend holes 1l, and containing a circularexpansion-chamber 10. Upon the rear part of the head is screwed thesteam-pipe 12, which is connected with the port 3 by passage 19, andwithin the steam-pipe the oil-pipe 13 is screwed into the head. Aby-pass 15 is provided for cleaning out the oil-port with steam whendesired. The circular recesses 16 and 17 are constructed in the headopposite the expansion-chambers 7 and 10, re-

spectively, in the oil and steam valves. The object of'oil and steamexpansion-chambers and the recesses opposite thereto is to provide meansto equalize the force of the ilow steam-discharge port, projects-beyondthe,

steam-discharge port, thereby preventing the expansive force of thesteam from giving an l excessive .upward force to the flame, thus givinga broad horizontal even llame under the boiler and not subjecting anypart thereof to an undue amount of heat.

Having described 4my invention, what I claim isl. A hydrocarbon-burnercomposed of a burner-head having an oil-supply passage terminating in as emicircular horizontal discharge-port, a valve having an expansion#chamber therein arranged to regulate such discharge-port 5 said headalso having a steamsupply passage terminating in a semicircularhorizontal discharge-port in the rear of and below the oil-port, a valvehaving an expansion-chamber therein arranged to regulate suchsteam-port,an oil-pipe connected with the oil-passage and a steam-pipe connectedwith the steam-passage substantially as described herein.

2. In a hydrocarbon-burnercomprising the head l, semicircular on itsface and having two horizontal slots 2 and 3 in its face formingdischarge-ports for oil and steam respectively, the upper port 2 beingin advance of andl projecting over port 3, the said ports havingconnection with an oil and a steam conduit respectively and theadjustable screw-threaded valves 4 and S disposed above and below theoil and steam passages leading to ports 2 and 3 respectively havingrecesses 7 and 10 arranged to regulate the flow of oil and steam to theports 2 and 3 respectively by screwing or unscrewing said valves.

3. The combination of the head 1, provided with slots 2 and 3 formingdischargeports for oil and steam respectively, and the screwthreadedvalves 4 and 8, with the chambers 7 and lO, the ports 2 and 3 havingcommunica' tion with oil and steam pipes 13 and 12 and said valves beingdisposed in threaded open- ICO ings in the head 1, above the oil-passage18 l and below the steam-passage 19 whereby the flow of oil and steam isregulated by turning said valves substantially as shown and del scribed.i

4. A hydrocarbon-burnerhaving an oil-disi charge port above and slightlyin advance of the steam-pori, and screw-threaded Valves having chambers7 and 10 adapted to regulate the flow of oil and steam to said ports;the chambers in said valves together with the l l l
